Pinnacle Studio: Understanding the Water Drop Effect

Pinnacle Studio is an easy-to-use, non-linear editing program
that offers its users a ton of video effects to choose from. One of
these is the water drop effect.

What Is the Water Drop Effect?

The water drop effect is efficiently described in it's time. What it
does is create a digital water drop effect over your image. This effect
is extremely useful because creating a real water drop effect is very
time consuming. You need to create each individual drop and light it so
that the drop is distinct and visible. You may even need to add some dye
to the drop so that it has more distinct features and can pop out of
the frame more. After all, water is clear so it's hard to be seen and
requires a lot of manipulation on the filmmaker's part.

Making Water Drops Digitally

With the water drop effect, you can easily create and manipulate the
water drops to suit your artistic tastes. This is a lot more time
efficient than making the real thing. Plus, it doesn't involve the lens
getting wet and needing to be cleaned. And, as with all digital effects,
if you don't like them, you can just get rid of them and still be left
with a clean image.
